Why is consciousness such a special and difficult issue for twenty- first century science? This book explores the big questions on the nature of brains, minds, and consciousness, through twenty interviews with some of the best-known personalities from the worlds of science and philosophy. Do we have free will, and if not is it possible to live without it? With an introduction setting out the broad structure of the debate on consciousness, and an extensive glossary, this book provides an engaging and accessible account of the most challenging problem of all, through the words of some of the leading figures involved in seeking to solve it.
